Mindfulness


Aware of the suffering caused by exploitation, social injustice, stealing and oppression, I am committed to practicing generosity in my thinking, speaking and acting. I am determined not to steal and not to possess anything that should belong to others… I am aware that happiness depends on my mental attitude and not external conditions, and I can live happily in the present moment simply by remembering that I already have more than enough conditions to be happy. I am committed to working in a way that I can help reduce the suffering of living beings on Earth and reverse the process of global warming. -The Second Mindfulness Training

Welcome to MInimal Impact

Hello! Welcome to Minimal Impact, a space where you'll find what inspires me to live minimally and love fully. A lifestyle I've found to best support me in all aspects of my life as a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Student and Teacher. I also love beautiful, original, organic photography so you'll find plenty of that here as well. Namaste!
